Helloo, Thanks for the reviews guys :) Okay I am running out of prewritten chapters, so if I take longer than usual to upload then please don't hate me..
disclaimer: don't own NCIS etc etc
Please enjoy this chapter, I'm not sure if it's as good as the others because it was orriginally part of chapter 7 or something like that..
Also, please tell me any mistakes and things you think I should change or add, for future chapters or past chapters because I will take your advice on board and try to make it as good as possible, because I am writing for you guys :)
Any way, on with the story!
Chapter 5
Gibbs' car squealed as he slammed on the brakes, missing the car parked ahead of them by millimeters. Tony put his hand on the dashboard as he rocked forward with the jolt.
"Wow boss, I think your driving could give Ziva's a run for her money." He said while rubbing his shoulder where the seatbelt had dug in. Gibbs got out and glared at him. "Not that that's a bad thing or anything. Shutting up boss."
They had parked a few cars down from Ziva's apartment. As they walked Gibbs pointed to a window several floors up in the building across from Ziva's. "That's where the film was taken."
Tony looked up to where his boss was pointing. "How'd you know that?" Gibbs turned to look at Tony. "The camera." Tony squinted at the window. "Oh yeah, I see it. You know my eyes have been a bit fuzzy lately, maybe I need glass-" Tony stopped mid-sentence as Gibbs' hand smacked into the back of his head. "Shutting up."
They walked into the lobby and were greeted by the huge smile of the blonde receptionist sitting at the desk. "Hi, can I help you?"
Tony leant forwards towards her. "Hi," He bent closer to read her nametag. "Katie, I'm Anthony DiNozzo and this is my boss Jethro Gibbs, we're from NCIS, that's Naval Criminal Investigative Service and we were wondering if you know who lives in the apartment on the corner facing Montgomery Drive, level one I think it is?" He grinned stupidly at her.
She giggled and typed something into her computer, her painted fingernails tapping on the keyboard. "Here you go, apartment 12, Mrs Kendal lives there. Do you want me to tell her you're coming up?"
Gibbs' gruff voice broke them from their trance, "No, that wont be necessary. Did you see or hear anything suspicious on Monday night?"
"Umm, no I don't think so, sorry."
"DiNozzo!" Gibbs walked off towards the elevator. "On your six boss!"
Before Tony left he bent over the desk again. "Here's my card, give me a call if you remember anything. Day or night. Home phone number's on the back!"
They arrived at Mrs Kendal's door a few moments later. Gibbs banged his hand against it and waited for a few seconds before the door swung open and a little old lady stood before them. "Yes?" she asked looking them up and down.
"Hi we are from NCIS we were wondering if we could talk to you for a moment." Gibbs showed her his badge. She stepped aside and allowed them to come in. Tony gapped at her apartment, the walls were covered in pink wallpaper with kittens on it. She had flowers on every table and bright pink pillows on all the chairs.
"Here do sit down, would you young men like some coffee?" Tony and Gibbs sat down at her table. "No thanks, we're right ma'am." Gibbs said. Mrs Kendal sat down across from them. "Now don't mind me asking but what is NCSI?"
"NCIS, it stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. We're federal agents."
"Oh, this is the second time the police have come to my house this week!."
"The second time?" Gibbs looked over to Tony, who returned his gaze with a knowing look. "Do you know why they came?"
"Oh yes, they came to install a camera, over here." She got up and walked over to her window. She was about to open it when Tony stopped her. "Here I'll do it."
He pulled out some rubber gloves and put them on. He tried to pull the window up and failed. After numerous attempts to open the window he stopped and looked at Gibbs. "It's jammed or something."
Gibbs reached over and flicked the lock. "Oh right, I knew that." Tony pushed the window open with ease. Both Gibbs and Tony leaned out over the window box stuffed with an assortment of colourful flowers and looked down at the camera. Tony pulled out the cord in the back of the camera as Gibbs removed a small screwdriver from his pocket and unscrewed the camera from its position under the flower box.
They both stood back up, stepping away from the window. Tony held up an evidence bag and Gibbs dropped the camera into it.
"DiNozzo, go down and call McGee, get him to come, pick this up and take it to Abby. We need to her pull any DNA she can find, and to do all the computer technical tracking stuff…" Gibbs looked at Tony, "Then flash Ziva's photo and see if anyone has seen her."
"On it boss." Tony turned to leave when Gibbs interrupted him, "And DiNozzo, you've already questioned the receptionist."
